What we do
Timber fencing and timber gates, supplied and installed across Sydney
Timber Fencing Sydney builds boundary fencing in treated pine and Australian hardwood, with gates made from the same materials so the whole line matches. Every job is measured on site before it is quoted.
- What we build
- Timber boundary fencing and timber gates. Single paling, lap & cap and lapped only in treated pine, plus hardwood single paling.
- Where we work
- Sydney. Western Sydney, the Hills, the Hawkesbury, the Inner West, the north and the south. See service areas.
- Materials
- Pressure-treated pine for most work, Australian hardwood where a denser timber suits the project. Timber or 65mm steel posts.
- How it works
- Supply and installation together. We remove the old fence, set the posts, build the fence and hang the gates.
Four timber fencing systems
Choose the fence, then the gate
The difference between these fences is how the palings sit on the rails, and that changes the face, the privacy and the finish. Have a look at each one, or compare all four.
Treated pine
Single Paling
One layer of palings fixed side by side to the rails. The most common timber boundary fence in Sydney and the most straightforward to repair paling by paling.
View details
Treated pine
Lap & Cap
Palings overlap so there is no sight line through the face, and a capping rail runs along the top to finish the fence and protect the paling ends.
View details
Treated pine
Lapped Only
Palings overlap to close the sight line through the fence, and the paling tops are left as the finished top line rather than being covered by a capping rail.
View details
Australian hardwood
Hardwood Single Paling
Single paling construction using Australian hardwood palings. Denser and heavier than treated pine, with a different colour and grain that weathers to grey unless it is coated.

Gates made from the same fence
A gate is the part of the fence that moves, so it carries load the rest of the line never sees. Gate posts, framing and hardware are sized for the leaf they have to hold.
Timber gates
Pedestrian Gates
One leaf, sized for people to walk through. The most common gate on a residential boundary, usually on a side path or into a rear yard.
View details
Timber gates
Single Gates
A single leaf spanning the whole opening. Suits openings a single gate can cover without becoming too heavy or sagging.
View details
Timber gates
Double Gates
Two gate leaves that meet in the centre of the opening. Each leaf is lighter and needs less swing clearance than a single leaf covering the same width.
View details
Timber gates
Driveway Gates
Gates across a vehicle opening, most often as a pair of leaves. Driveway width, the fall of the driveway and swing clearance all drive how they are built.

From first enquiry to finished fence
Nothing gets quoted off a guess. The measure happens before the price, so the number you get is based on your actual boundary.
- 01
Tell us about the fence
Send the approximate length, the height you want and the style you like. Photos of the boundary help more than anything else.
- 02
We measure on site
A site visit confirms the real length, ground levels, access and what has to come out first. There is no charge for it.
- 03
You get a written quote
The quote sets out the fence, the posts, the gates and the removal work, so you can see exactly what is included.
- 04
We build it
Old fence out, posts in and concreted, rails and palings on, gates hung and the site cleaned up before we leave.

Choosing
How to choose a timber fence
There is no single best timber fence. There is a best fence for your boundary, and the honest way to get to it is to work through what the fence actually has to do.
6 min read Specification
Timber fence heights
Height is the specification people are most confident about and most often wrong about, because the number you have in your head is rarely the number that matters on site.
5 min read Cost
What affects timber fencing cost
We do not publish per-metre prices, and any timber fencing website that does is quoting a fence it has not seen.
7 min read Measuring
How much fencing do I need
You do not need to be precise. You need to be roughly right, and you need to describe the shape of the job correctly.
4 min read Process
How timber fencing is installed
A timber fence looks simple once it is up, which is exactly why a badly built one is so obvious. The line wanders, the top steps unevenly, the posts move within a few years.
6 min read Replacement
Replacing an old timber fence
Most timber fencing work in Sydney is replacement, not new. Which means the first real question is not what fence you want, it is whether you actually need a new one.

All FAQsWhat is a single paling timber fence?
A fence with one layer of vertical timber palings fixed side by side to horizontal rails. The palings sit in a single plane so the face of the fence is flat. It is the most common timber boundary fence in Sydney.
What is treated pine fencing?
Fencing built from pine that has been pressure treated so it can be used outdoors in the weather and, at the correct treatment level, in the ground. New treated pine has a green or light tan cast that fades as it weathers, and it takes paint and stain well.
What is lap and cap fencing?
A timber fence with overlapping palings and a capping rail along the top. The overlap removes the straight sight line through the face of the fence, and the capping rail gives the run a single clean top line while covering the cut ends of the palings.
How much does timber fencing cost in Sydney?
It depends on the length and height of the fence, the fence style, the number and size of gates, whether an existing fence has to be removed, access to the fence line, and ground conditions. We do not publish per-metre prices because a single rate hides those differences. The site measure and quote are free.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. A free site measure and quote is the standard way we price work. You can also get an initial estimate from measurements you provide, then a site-verified estimate after the free on-site visit.
Can an existing timber fence be removed?
Yes. Existing fencing and its footings are removed and disposed of, and old brick walls can also be safely removed and taken away. Removal is usually quoted together with the replacement fence.
Do you install timber gates?
Yes. Pedestrian, single, double and driveway gates are built to match single paling, lap and cap, lapped only and hardwood single paling fencing, in the same timber and to the same top line as the fence.
How is timber fencing installed?
The boundary is measured, any existing fence is removed and disposed of, the fence line is set out, posts are dug and concreted, rails are fixed between the posts, palings are fixed to the rails, gates are hung and adjusted, and the site is cleaned up with old material taken away.
How deep are timber fence posts set?
Each post is set 600mm deep into the ground and secured with at least one full 20kg bag of concrete. Posts can also be filled with concrete up to one third of their length for extra strength.
